Manning was in demand as a character actress in silent films.[1] She was known for her roles in silent and early sound films, including Uncle Tom's Cabin (1927) and Huckleberry Finn (1931).[2]
About her performance in Everybody's Sweetheart (1920), Variety wrote that she "makes the character necessarily disagreeable, but true to life".[3] She played Queen Anne in A Lady of Quality (1924); it was noted that she bore a resemblance to the character she was playing.[4][5] She played another queen, Elizabeth I, in the MGM short The Virgin Queen (1928).[6]
Manning lived at Hollywood-by-the-Sea.[7][8] She died on March 25, 1946, in Hollywood.[9][10]
